I will be moving to Spain soon, and I hope to be able to bring my desktop PC without making any sort of changes (PSU, Mother-Board, etc.).Am I able to do this, and if not, what can I use in order to use my PC there? I live in the United States.
Firstly, I'd remove some components from the case, like graphics card and CPU cooler, if using a heavy one (shocks during transportation might damage the board). You'd reinstall them in Spain.
Secondly, you'd need a power plug adapter. Something like https://www.amazon.com/AC-20-USA-Spain-Plug-Adapter/dp/B00904PVRO

GPU and CPU cooler are the heavy parts inside your case and any good jolt could make them loose (or break in case of the GPU).
Not to mention both stock and aftermarket coolers are likely to be moved/jolted enough on an international flight to require it to be removed, cleaned, and apply new thermal paste anyways.
Thanks for the solution, but do you have any recommendations for transport of the cooler and gpu? The TSA and airport baggage workers are pretty rough with this sort of thing as I've seen.
You're welcome.

If you really want to go to the next level you can get a hard case and cutout foam for the parts, but alexoiu suggestion of bubble wrapping the parts very well and then sticking between clothes (in a fairly packed suitcased) should be completely sufficient.
